Short: Commodore Matrix Printer Emulator Author: sonninen@lut.fi (Jarkko Sonninen), jopi@stekt.oulu.fi (Jouko Valta), dm@stekt.oulu.fi (Hannu Helminen) Uploader: polluks sdf lonestar org (Stefan Haubenthal) Type: gfx/conv Version: 1.1 Architecture: ppc-morphos Optional: VICE This is a small program to convert CBM printer output to a postscript file that, when fed to a postscript printer, produces a nice image of a matrix printer - a Matrix printer emulation. It used to be part of the X64/VICE emulator project, however the copyright of petlp.c forbid using it when we cleaned up the VICE code: It contains code from the Adobe bluebook code examples. Thus this program is NOT fully GPLd: The Adobe copyright for parts of petlp.c apply, for the rest the GNU public license (see the file "COPYING") is used. Especially the disclaimers in section 11 and 12 apply. It can now compiled separately from the VICE emulator (in fact it's just a shameless rip from VICE 0.11.0). It is only tested on Unix (anyone care for DOS/Win)? In the newer VICE versions you can (under Unix) even use it by using "|petlp -F PS|lpr" as the printer output file - which automatically pipes the output through "petlp" and then to the (default) printer via "lpr".
